Great idea for a thread Bali! I can't wait to see everyones photos! I'll share a few of mine.
To start, the beautiful view of the Lake Buena Vista Golf Course from our room at SSR. Many of the rooms have golf course views...so relaxing!
The Grandstand section of SSR. Beautiful, we loved staying there!
View from the lobby of AKL of the Savannah.
Another of AKL
And a super old, pre-digital, scanned in photo of the Jazz Inn section of All Star Music. It really is a pretty part of the hotel.

That must have been a fun view. My grandma used to live in a house with the property butted up against a golf course, and it was so fun to wave to the golfers as they strolled by. A glass of lemonade, a good book, and that balcony are just about all I need on a Spring afternoon.

Great pics guys! DisneyLove would you say SSR compares to AKL?

There were several pool areas, but we found that we enjoyed the smaller pool nearest our room the most, it was much less crowded than the main pool and very nice.
Here's a long-ago picture of the Beach Club Gingerbread Carousel:

I can't believe that's all candy and gingerbread! Resorts always smell so good at Christmas time--all gingerbread-y.

Didn't Samantha Brown help build one of the giant gingerbread houses on one of her Christmas specials a couple of years ago? I'm thinking it might have been at the Floridian.

I've always suspected that the house itself would not be very tasty. It's fun that they actually build it out of gingerbread, but I think they could make a really nice permanent one that would probably be just as edible.

I like the Gingerbread with chocolate on it. But I digress.

When we were on the Yuletide Fantasy tour last December, they indicated that the gingerbread used on the house cannot be eaten because each piece was coated with lacquer to make them hard and last that long.

How was that tour, Zz? I've often wanted to try it out. Do you go to all of the resorts or just MK and GF?

Actually, you do quite a bit beyond that. If I recall correctly, you go backstage where they keep all the holiday decorations. Besides MK and GF, you also go to Epcot and visit Italy, Germany, and America pavilions.
But more importantly, you get a special pin at the end of the tour!

I love it - funny they are the 'cheap' rooms.
Last year, when we went to the beach area to watch Wishes, I thought about how nice a Lagoon view would be. However, my husband said he wants a garden view again - not because it's less expensive but because he loved the view!

It really does seem to be almost as good, right? I think I wouldn't want a view of the parking lot or some such, but that garden view is beautiful. It also seems pretty secluded. A lagoon view invites everyone and their mother to look into your room!
True, no parking lot view for me, and the lagoon, you're right on that one too. garden view wins, hands down!

It's nice to look out on a secluded area instead of a high-traffic one. Were a lot of people wandering through your garden view?
